A quote from the newspaper of his death is as follows: "The work done by the firm of Cooper & Tullis was marked by the thoroughness and finish. We need only to point to such buildings as Whittingham Asylum, the new buildings at Stonyhurst (School), Preston Town Hall, Fulwood Barracks, the well-known Parish Church of Bolton, and, above all, to the Harris Free Library and Museum, to show something of the solidity and sound workmanship displayed by the firm". Also in the newspaper report it states; "in private life he was helpful and generous to a fault, in the old-fashioned way, however, for it was his habit to give largely in such a way that no one should know".
